@lilmikesf@c.im @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caToronto Star: “New numbers reveal 10,000-plus Ontario college layoffs, 600 programs cancelled or suspended over past year”
The bloodbath in our higher education system in Canada has gotten NO press even though provincial governments and likely federal KNOW. This is the first in depth article I have seen. ALL governments micro-manage university and college policy/finances, no matter what they might say to the contrary.
Here are some truths you need to know:
Yes, I am biased as a 25 year employee of a University.
Yes, my University has also had completely unprecedented cuts in the past 12-24 months, with more coming.
Yes, it is because of the loss of International Students and their tuition revenue. Without that loss, many domestic enrollment numbers have actually been growing, but the money per student is orders of magnitude less. (ie. International was a cash cow)
Yes, faculty and even many admin, have been warning about the government downloading funding onto International tuitions for decades.
Yes, government will claim they are “investing more than ever”, but this is usually about Capital expenses (buildings, residences, infrastructure) or meeting contractual increases for staff salaries, *not* operating expenses.
Yes, in BC in the 1980s 80-90% of a University or College operating budget was covered by “base funding” from the province. Now, it is often below 50%. (If this makes you ask… is it still a “public University system”, please do!!)
And finally, yes, if we want to consider ourselves a modern country, we cannot possibly think this kind of contraction in educational opportunity (while domestic tuitions continue to increase!) is at all healthy for our society as a whole.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.cawatched the Mboko v Osaka match last night. It was a good match and obviously a great result for 🇨🇦
I do wonder how Osaka is though. She seemed so very in her own head. Not to take anything away from Mboko but tennis can so often be as much about beating the player on an emotional level as it is about physical and skill level. Mboko certainly had the emotional advantage for most of the 2nd and 3rd sets
Osaka really seemed to lose her composure and it at least cancelled out some or the trouble Mboko had with her own serve.
I have always really liked Osaka so I was a little disappointed in her state. I hope she is ok and can get into the US Open.
What a run and what a victory for Mboko!
Really looking forward to see what she does at the US Open!!
